Briefs

Men's briefs

A brief has no legs. That one decision gives you solid support, a clean line under trousers and nothing creeping up your thighs. Whether you say briefs or y-fronts, the question is the cut, then the fabric, and the sexiest briefs are the ones that fit you properly.

Four cuts

Classic: for the most cover, Cotton Classic, Team Cotton and M8 each make a classic brief, in cotton, ribbed cotton and bamboo. For a throwback, try the M.V.P. Retro Brief, which has a fly front.

Sports: higher at the hip. The Icon, Reign and Score Sheer sports briefs add cut-out sides, and the M8 Sports Brief is bamboo.

Micro: the least fabric. The Glide Micro Brief has a 1 cm waistband, and the Flirt Cotton Micro Brief drops the separate waistband altogether.

Sexy male briefs: the Score Sheer Slim Brief has a sheer insert curving from the pouch over the back, and the Edge Net Brief sweeps net across the whole back.

Common questions

Which briefs are the sexiest? The sheer and net ones show the most: the Score Sheer Slim Brief, the Casanova Brief and the Edge Net Brief.

Trunks, briefs or bikini briefs? Trunks add a short leg for more cover, and a bikini brief narrows the side so it shows more.

Are briefs comfortable every day? Yes. Cotton and bamboo are the easy picks for a long day: the Team Cotton Brief is ribbed cotton and the M8 Brief is bamboo.

Which size should I order? Check the size guide on the product page. A brief should sit snug: if the waistband rolls or the leg openings pinch, try the next size up.
